excel super forage

Warren Veteran
has anyone noticed that the hay in excel super forage seems to have become about a quarter of the length it normally is? I opened the bag today to find strands only about 1 cm long. I wonder if it will have the same wearing effect on his incisors. Not great when he's off to the vet today. I packed him a packed lunch of superforage and some favorite food so they could tempt his appitite after his op and I felt a little embarrassed packing that.
 
I think it's the end of 'hay season' for now so it might be a second cut of shorter hay from their suppliers?
 
I've not bought any recently but I was unimpressed that it wasn't that long anyway! The buns love it though so they have some alongside their normal hay :)
 
it's usually a mix of dried grasses and hays. The one I had before I think had some timothy in it and I think possibly some oat this does seem much more like grass and smells really strong (not bad, just strong). Sooty seems to be eating it but I think I'll have to get him something else too to keep his incisors in trim.

The good news is that the vet didn't ask waht cr*@py hay I was giving him and he's back from the vet and eating a bit and drinking too. Glad I've got the day off tomorrow to make sure he's ok.
